Overview of the Lesson
I want students to be able to navigate through a website so they can complete a webquest on Lewis an Clark.
I then would like students to work in groups of 3 to respond to a prompt about Lewis and Clark using Google Docs.

Personality Traits
Results from the Paragon Learning Style Inventory : ENFP (Extrovert,Intuitive, Feeler, Perceiver)
Results from the Myers-Briggs Test: ESFP (Extrovert, Sensate, Feeler, Perceiver)
After reading the descriptions for both ENFP and ESFP I feel that both accurately described my pesonality. If I had to choose one that I felt better described me I would choose the ESFP from the Myers-Briggs test. I am more of a Sensate than Intuitive. I pay more attention to inforation coming into my 5 senses rather than creBating possiblities in my head from information that I gather. Both tests were very close and I agree with both of them. I definitely like to socialize (extrovert) rather than be alone. I am often very sensitive to peoples feelings. I am extremely empathetic because of all my life experiences.(Feeler). I am flexible in every aspect of my life. I meet my deadline's at work but that is about it. I am usually on time to important things but if I am late to other funtions it doesn't bother me to bit. I kind of just "go with the flow".(Perciever)
